Sloclap, a Parisian indie game developer composed of former <a href="/facts/Ubisoft_Paris/nqhxpvvq">Ubisoft Paris</a> employees, began work on Absolver in May 2015. Their core game concept was to have fluid, dynamic movement, similar to dance. The game debuted a year later at the <a href="/facts/2016_Electronic_Entertainment_Expo/nwfYN4hE">2016 Electronic Entertainment Expo</a> and was released in August 2017.
